Bishop Manogue Goldmine (2024 Rank: 24) 2024-2025 WINTER STUDENT SECTION NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!! I have been trying to get Bishop Manogue involved in the Student Section scene when we first began to cover Nevada in 2021, but it was tough. I had them in the middle of the herd and then, they found us and they ran with it! Forget bring the best in Nevada, they wanted more than that! They wanted to be the best of the best in the nation! It helps to get Jack of all Fades (@jack_of_all_fades on Instagram) to post the insanity of the Goldmine! This Student Section was over the top and put them on the map in Nevada. Bishop Manogue really had to battle in the voting in the National Winter Student Section Playoffs, beating some of the very...

Orem Ambush (2024 Rank: 7) The Ambush got the year started off hot with an amazing video. It was not a surprise to us as they have been on a roll this school year. The Ambush put themselves on the map and that is tough to do in one of the deepest states in the nation when it comes to Student Sections! Orem got the most votes to take the top spot in the state and came close to making it to the Final Four in the Winter Student Section Playoffs! It was an incredible year for this Student Section and they end it on a high note as the Orem Ambush is your 2024-2025 Utah Winter Student Section of the Year! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DE9W9wTOlws/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Olympus O-Zone (2024 Rank: 2) Lone Peak Uknighted (2024 Rank: 23) American...

2024-25 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WINTER STUDENT SECTION TOP 40 RANKINGS Great Oak Red Wave (2024 Rank: 2) I mean this shouldn't come as a surprise. The Red Wave is a powerhouse of a Student Section not just in Southern California, but in the country. They've set the standard and have remained a consistent power in the stands for awhile now. The social media game is at another level and they pack the stands and go nuts, sometimes on the court! They made it to the Final Four of the National Winter Student Section Playoffs and were the favorites to win it all. Look at this Student Section the same way you look at Duke Basketball, they're always the favorite you drop your jaw when they are out in the playoffs brackets. While they were a round away...

Sunnyslope Green Team (Last Year Rank: 5) This is a solid basketball Student Section and one of the best in the state. The Green Team can pack the stands and it's not just the students or the parents. The entire community buys in on the school spirit at Sunnyslope. We will see how the Green Team will do in the National Winter playoffs in the 53-Student Section Bracket, but for now they're the 2024-2025 Arizona Winter Student Section of the Year!

We continue our Final Rankings in all of the 50 states we covered this football season.  To say I’m overwhelmed with the work that comes along with this is an understatement. We had Student Section of the Week for over 10 weeks and that helped us determine who had the best Student Section and which one wanted it more. Just showing up in large crowds isn’t enough. It might fool other outlets that don’t cover Student Sections, but not us. We have to know how bad you want and marketing is key.  You will see top-notch Student Sections miss out at the top spot, but we kept saying it over and over and over again, in order to be considered number one, you have to win the Student Section of the Week title. Otherwise, what...

Let’s take a quick timeout from the Final State Rankings and go back to the Student Section Report roots! When this Student Section Rankings started with OC Sidelines in 2015, I didn’t expect an overwhelming reaction. We remember naming La Habra Clan (Now the La Habra Highlander Huddle) was our first Football Student Section Champion. We extend the Student Section Rankings to Southern California when OCSidelines became SoCal Sidelines with Murrieta Mesa being the 2016 SoCal Student Section Champions. When SoCalSidelines went out of business, we began SoCal Student Sections, which later became the Student Section Report. While we are the first and only ones to ever rank Student Sections all 50 states, it all started in Southern California, so I have still have knowledge of the Student Section scene in SoCal despite focusing in...

The time has come to start ranking 50 states that we covered this football season.  To say I’m overwhelmed with the work that comes along with this is a huge huge understatement. We had 12 Student Section of the Week winners in Arizona and that helped us determine who had the best Student Section and which ones wanted it more. Just showing up in large crowds isn’t enough. It might fool other outlets that don’t cover Student Sections, but not us.
